A Prankish Proverb

Who is rich
  Here's a thought
Whoever's content
  with his lot

Who is content
  with his lot
The guy with more
  than you've got

This tight proverb flies in the face of some groups of ' Abundance' congratulations. Huge esteem rests on monetary wealth accumulation. I clean houses for moula, and it's pretty evident there too, dissatisfaction in wealthy folk.

This witty verse should be incorporated in the Proverbs, Gershon! Love it! Bob

Thank you for the endorsement, Bob... If Proverbs won't have it, how about 'The Book of Robin Hood?' lol. Thanks, Gershon

I'm the Wolf who is as sly as the Fox. (Used to room with a guy whose last name was Fox back in college. That got a lot of play). Clever Clover, Gershon
